Parent-adolescent communication in a digital world: A 100-day diary study.

Digital technology enables parents and adolescents to communicate anywhere and anytime. Knowledge of parent-adolescent online communication, however, is mainly based on cross-sectional studies. In this preregistered 100-day diary study, 479 adolescents (M = 15.

Fasciotomy for Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Deep Posterior Lower Leg Compartment: A Prospective Study.

Objective: Patients with lower leg deep posterior chronic exertional compartment syndrome (dp-CECS) experience exercise-induced calf pain and tightness. Retrospective studies suggest that outcome after a fasciotomy is suboptimal. This prospective case series determined success rates of a fasciotomy and identified factors predicting outcome.

Persistent Pain After Breast Cancer Treatment, an Underreported Burden for Breast Cancer Survivors.

Background: Many patients who have undergone surgery experience persistent pain after breast cancer treatment (PPBCT). These symptoms often remain unnoticed by treating physician(s), and the pathophysiology of PPBCT remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine prevalence of PPBCT and examine the association between PPBCT and various patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics.

A closer look into the affect dynamics of adolescents with depression and the interactions with their parents: An ecological momentary assessment study.

Adolescents with depression tend to perceive behavior of parents as less positive than adolescents without depression, but conclusions are based on retrospective reports assessed once or over long time intervals, with the risk of memory biases affecting the recall. The current study used ecological momentary assessments to examine the link between adolescent affect and the amount of warmth and criticism expressed by both mothers and fathers in families with adolescents with depression versus adolescents without psychopathology in daily life. It also explored the possible bias by assessing parenting on the momentary, daily (EMA), and retrospective level.

Development of a Clinical Pathway for Bariatric Surgery as an Integral Part of a Comprehensive Treatment for Adolescents with Severe Obesity in the Netherlands.

Introduction: In the Netherlands, bariatric surgery in adolescents is currently only allowed in the context of scientific research. Besides this, there was no clinical pathway for bariatric surgery in adolescents. In this paper, the development of a comprehensive clinical pathway for bariatric surgery in adolescents with severe obesity in the Netherlands is described.

Tracking real-time proximity in daily life: A new tool to examine social interactions.

Social interactions, spending time together, and relationships are important for individuals' well-being, with people feeling happier when they spend more time with others. So far, most information about the frequency and duration of spending time together is based on self-report questionnaires. Although recent technological innovations have stimulated the development of objective approaches for measuring physical proximity in humans in everyday life, these methods still have substantial limitations.

Ultrasound guided compressibility of the lower leg anterior tibial muscle compartment: a feasibility study.

Objectives: Some young individuals participating in sports activities may encounter lower leg muscle pain and tightness, potentially indicating chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). While muscle pressure measurement is typically recommended for diagnosis, it is invasive and associated with low sensitivity and specificity. Thus, there is a need for novel diagnostic approaches.

Multimodal prehabilitation in elective oncological colorectal surgery enhances preoperative physical fitness: a single center prospective real-world data analysis.

Background: Surgery can lead to curation in colorectal cancer (CRC) but is associated with significant morbidity. Prehabilitation plays an important role in increasing preoperative physical fitness to reduce morbidity risk; however, data from real-world practice is scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the change in preoperative physical fitness and to evaluate which patients benefit most from prehabilitation.

Neural and affective responses to prolonged eye contact with parents in depressed and nondepressed adolescents.

Eye contact improves mood, facilitates connectedness, and is assumed to strengthen the parent-child bond. Adolescent depression is linked to difficulties in social interactions, the parent-child bond included. Our goal was to elucidate adolescents' affective and neural responses to prolonged eye contact with one's parent in nondepressed adolescents (HC) and how these responses are affected in depressed adolescents.

Looking into troubled waters: Childhood emotional maltreatment modulates neural responses to prolonged gazing into one's own, but not others', eyes.

One of the most prevalent nonverbal, social phenomena known to automatically elicit self- and other-referential processes is eye contact. By its negative effects on the perception of social safety and views about the self and others, childhood emotional maltreatment (CEM) may fundamentally affect these processes. To investigate whether the socioaffective consequences of CEM may become visible in response to (prolonged) eye gaze, 79 adult participants (mean [M] = 49.

Optimizing the pathway for simple stable fractures.

Aims: In the Netherlands, general practitioners (GPs) can request radiographs. After a radiologically diagnosed fracture, patients are immediately referred to the emergency department (ED). Since 2020, the Máxima Medical Centre has implemented a new care pathway for minor trauma patients, referring them immediately to the traumatology outpatient clinic (OC) instead of the ED.

Aberrant neural network activation during reliving of autobiographical memories in adolescent depression.

Background: Adolescents with depression exhibit negative biases in autobiographical memory with detrimental consequences for their self-concept and well-being. Investigating how adolescents relive positive autobiographical memories and activate the underlying neural networks could reveal mechanisms that drive such biases. This study investigated neural networks when reliving positive and neutral memories, and how neural activity is modulated by valence and vividness in adolescents with and without depression.

Adolescents' and parents' affect in relation to discrepant perceptions of parental warmth in daily life.

The current study aimed to evaluate how adolescents' and parents' perceptions of daily parenting-and their discrepancies-relate to daily parent and adolescent affect. Daily parental warmth and affect were assessed using electronic diaries in 150 American adolescent-parent dyads (61.3% females, M  = 14.

Sticky criticism? Affective and neural responses to parental criticism and praise in adolescents with depression.

Background: Parent-adolescent interactions, particularly parental criticism and praise, have previously been identified as factors relevant to self-concept development and, when negative, to adolescent depression. Yet, whether adolescents with depression show aberrant emotional and neural to parental criticism and praise is understudied.

Methods: Adolescents with depression ( = 20) and healthy controls ( = 59) received feedback supposedly provided by their mother or father in the form of negative ('untrustworthy'), neutral ('chaotic'), and positive ('respectful') personality evaluations while in an MRI-scanner.

Visceral symptoms in patients with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES): expression of viscerosomatic reflexes?

Purpose: Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment (ACNES) is characterized by neuropathic pain in a predictable, circumscript abdominal area. The diagnostic delay is long, with half of ACNES-affected individuals reporting nausea, bloating, or loss of appetite mimicking visceral disease. The aim of this study was to describe these phenomena and to determine whether treatment could successfully reverse the visceral symptoms.

A Population-Based Cohort Study on Efficacy and Safety of Bariatric Surgery in Young Adults Versus Adults.

Purpose: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity in adults and has shown promising results in young adults. Lack of insight regarding efficacy and safety outcomes might result in delayed bariatric surgery utilization in young adults. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bariatric surgery in young adults compared to adults.

Prehabilitation versus no prehabilitation to improve functional capacity, reduce postoperative complications and improve quality of life in colorectal cancer surgery.

Background: Surgery is the cornerstone in curative treatment of colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, surgery itself can adversely affect patient health. 'Enhanced Recovery After Surgery' programmes, which include multimodal interventions, have improved patient outcomes substantially.

Prehabilitation for patients with colorectal cancer: a snapshot of current daily practice in Dutch hospitals.

Background: Multimodal prehabilitation programmes are increasingly being imbedded in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathways to enhance the patient's recovery after surgery. However, there is no (inter)national consensus on the content or design of such a programme. This study aimed to evaluate the current practice and opinion regarding preoperative screening and prehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery for CRC throughout the Netherlands.

A Dutch prediction tool to assess the risk of incidental gallbladder cancers after cholecystectomies for benign gallstone disease.

Background: Despite the increasing implementation of selective histopathologic policies for post-cholecystectomy evaluation of gallbladder specimens in low-incidence countries, the fear of missing incidental gallbladder cancer (GBC) persists. This study aimed to develop a diagnostic prediction model for selecting gallbladders that require additional histopathological examination after cholecystectomy.

Methods: A registration-based retrospective cohort study of nine Dutch hospitals was conducted between January 2004 and December 2014.

Safety of bariatric surgery in the elderly: results from the Dutch National Registry.

Background: The increased human life expectancy and prevalence of obesity lead to more elderly people with obesity. As the popularity of bariatric surgery continues to grow, more elderly persons apply for bariatric surgery. However, because of the potentially higher surgical risk in elderly patients, bariatric surgery has been performed in small numbers.

Importance of Patient Involvement in Creating Content for eHealth Interventions: Qualitative Case Report in Orthopedics.

Background: In many industries, collaboration with end users is a standard practice when developing or improving a product or service. This process aims for a much better understanding of who the end user is and how the product or service could be of added value to them. Although patient (end user) involvement in the development of eHealth apps is increasing, this involvement has mainly focused on the design, functionalities, usability, and readability of its content thus far.

Neural and Affective Responses to Prolonged Eye Contact with One's Own Adolescent Child and Unfamiliar Others.

Eye contact is crucial for the formation and maintenance of social relationships, and plays a key role in facilitating a strong parent-child bond. However, the precise neural and affective mechanisms through which eye contact impacts on parent-child relationships remain elusive. We introduce a task to assess parents' neural and affective responses to prolonged direct and averted gaze coming from their own child, and an unfamiliar child and adult.
